How To Restore Your Trust Again After Narcissistic Abuse

How We Deal With Trust – Before Awakening

There is an awakening – all to do with “trust” in regard to narcissistic abuse, but before I get to that, I want to go through with you what generally happens to us before this awakening.

What happens is this … we implement the normal human defenses of fear and contraction.

We establish the beliefs that there ARE evil people in the world who are not to be trusted and we start to contract ourselves and protect ourselves against them.

In the initial stages that is helpful in getting away from people who abuse us, staying away from them, and to stop putting our hand on the stove that is continually burning us.

But this stage is not the true answer – it is a stage of “survival” only. It is not a step of evolution regarding trust.

And it is a short-term solution only because in this stage in contraction if continued for any length of time, the direct problem is the trauma we trap inside our body when we stay locked down in fear, protection, and contraction.

The trauma that we are trying so desperately to avoid from outside of ourselves, is still eating us alive from the inside.

Additionally, when we are in contraction we have just shut ourselves off from the possibility of Lifeforce flowing through us. And this contradicts and compromises our entire being because nature is about expansion – growth, experiences, and cycles moving forward as evolution.

In contraction we “stop”; we back out of this energy and contract for survival.

Immediately we start to dissolve instead of evolving.

In other words, this begins a process of disintegration instead of integration (growth).

In the short term contract is useful in times of danger. Imagine crouching in a cave to escape a bear … however, if we stay in the cave for an extended period of time we won’t survive.
